 Black Bean Pig's Tail Soup

Rice with Mushroom, Dried Shrimps & Cabbage

A friend of mine read about this unique eatery in the Sunday Times and recommended it to me. 

Today, we took a bus to this eatery at 77 Eating House, Block 22 Sin Ming Road. There are four coffee shops along this block. 

We arrived there at 11am and I settled for the above Black Bean Pig's Tail Soup. I was pleasantly surprised by the soup. It tasted just like those my grandmother used to cook in the 1960's, except for the lack of sliced chye poh. The generous pieces of pig's tail, black beans, black eye peas & herbs made the soup very satisfying. One pot contains about 3.5 rice bowls of soup.

We wanted to try the Teochew Char Kway Teow in the same coffee shop but our tanks were full. Besides this soup stall, the Braised Duck & Mixed Vegetable Rice stalls also have long queues.


The coffee shop a few doors away has a famous Bak-Kut-Teh stall & Ah Or Seafood from Ellenborough Market @ Merchant Road.

This morning Dick, Phillip and William went to Taman Sutera in Skudai, Johore. We were caught in the heavy traffic at the Causeway for more than an hour. By the time we cleared CIQ, it was slightly past 11.30am. The 20 minutes or so drive to our destination was smooth & pleasant. This eatery is situated next to the Sutera Mall.

We arrived feeling like hungry ghosts with heavy bladders. Made a bee line for the restoran's toilet before settling down to order from the simple menu. Had the above five dishes and ate to our hearts' content. Needless to say more, the photo of the empty dishes speaks for itself. 

Total bill plus drinks was Rm46 (S$19).

After lunch, we past our time at Carrefour Supermarket @ Sutera Mall before returning back to JB. Stopped by Holiday Plaza, bought Dolly Parton Pau and Interpharm for supply of medicine before returning back to Singapore at 4.30pm. Once again, was caught in the heavy traffic at Causeway and only managed to clear Singapore Customs by 5.45pm. 

As it was too late for Phillip to return home to get his car, Dick offered to fetch Monica directly. After picking her from Jalan Bukit Merah at 6.10pm, they dropped me at Tiong Bahru Plaza to drive my daughter's car home. 

It was a fun day we had and longed for many more such outings to come.
